§ 01
The Idea

What Anarcho-Mutualist actually means.

Anarcho-Mutualism merges market exchange with cooperative ownership, rejecting exploitative rent, usury, and state-imposed monopolies.

Benjamin Tucker and Josiah Warren shaped Anarcho-Mutualism by advocating free markets without state interference, yet rejecting capitalist monopolies on land and finance. They proposed mutual credit banks and cooperative property norms, seeking a stateless society where voluntary exchange and self-regulation replace government and corporate exploitation.
